Victoria Academy lunchtime.

“Hmm….”

After finishing her meal, Ellis sat down at her desk in the classroom and frowned.

This is because an unexpected problem has arisen these days.

News was playing on the screen that Ellis was looking at.

– The mysterious monster Centaur. This is a problem for France. This monster with tremendous strength and speed is being dealt with by the French government with all its might… .

It’s a centaur.

It is an intelligent monster that has settled in France.

Ellis’s Iris Guild also suffered significant losses as it is based in France.

The situation itself, where there was a loss due to just one monster, was funny, but it was a serious situation in the local area.

“… Should I go to my parents’ house?”

No matter how important the Academy was, the Iris Guild came first.

“No. Go and do something.”

In any case, adding one more Alice would not change anything, and if her father’s attention was diverted to her, it would be a nuisance rather than a help.

– Here’s the next news. This is a buyer’s guild where a series of serious corruption scandals have emerged recently. Contrary to the image he had built up, it was revealed that behind the scenes he was operating a huge amount of illegal funds, including through drugs, prostitution, and illegal artifacts. At the same time, Park Min-gyu, the head of the buyers guild, went missing, and experts believed he may have fled abroad… .

“This person made a really good impression.”

The Buyers Guild Leader remembered seeing it a few times.

He was a gentle-looking guy, but I remember not liking the way he looked at me.

‘Then I see that Lee Ho-yeon was discharged from the hospital.’

Ellis felt good about starting the massage again.

Now that I think about it, I told him to report that I had hired a masseuse, but my dad still didn’t say anything.

There is no way Sebas-chan has forgotten what I said, he must be busy with work.

‘It’s rather good.’

The later you listen to nagging, the better.

Just as Ellis was killing time by thinking about random things, the door to the classroom opened.

The flowing black hair confidently entered the classroom.

‘Nam Da-eun?’

He hasn’t been to the Academy for quite some time, so I thought he might have been involved in a crime with the Buyer’s Guild, but it looks like he’s coming back today.

‘There must have been circumstances.’

Ellis nodded, then remembered something.

‘You said that all guild members from the Buyers Guild have completed the investigation. If you see him walking around confidently like that, it means he has nothing to do with it… Since the Buyer’s Guild has disappeared, don’t you have anything to belong to now?’

According to the information I received last time, Nam Da-eun actually had a weakness in the Buyers Guild.

I was anxious because there was a possibility that he might have been involved in a crime because his weaknesses were discovered, but if there was no such possibility, he was the number one talent to be recruited.

The recruitment of Nam Da-eun, which had been planned for a long time.

I failed last time, but I might have a chance this time.

Because the guild I signed with has disappeared.

Since there were only two people in the classroom at the time, Ellis decided to talk to Nam Da-eun again.

“Hmm. Da-eun, it’s been a while, huh?”

Ellis’ voice in public affairs was cute even when he heard it himself.

“huh.”

Nam Da-eun, who came back after finishing her meal, turned her head when she suddenly heard a cute voice.

Ellis smiled brightly and made eye contact with Nam Da-eun.

“I was worried because I thought something was going on. I’m glad.”

“thank you.”

Nam Da-eun was feeling awkward after coming to the Academy for the first time in a long time.

In the past, I was used to living alone, but now, after staying in Lee Ho-yeon’s dormitory, I have learned a little about the warmth of people.

Perhaps that was why he felt grateful to Ellis who spoke to him.

‘When I think about it, Ellis was the reason I repaid Hoyeon.’

Ellis’ thoughtless check changed Nam Da-eun’s mind, so it wasn’t wrong.

Of course, Nam Da-eun didn’t even know that it was a check.

“Thank you for last time.”

“Huh? What?”

“The advice I gave at the flower shop was very helpful.”

“advice?”

Ellis listened to Nam Da-eun’s words and thought about it slowly, but the flower shop never gave her any advice.

I did gossip about Lee Ho-yeon behind her back… I guess that’s not true.

‘What do you think?’

If you say thank you, just accept it.

There is no need to argue.

“Yes, yes. So… the contract with the Buyers Guild has ended this time.”

“That’s right. Because the Buyers Guild disappeared.”

“…… huh.”

For a moment, Ellis felt a chill spread throughout her body.

It seemed like the hatred toward the Buyers Guild contained in Nam Da-eun’s words was spreading to her as well.

‘He must have something going on.’

Since he was under such a trashy guild leader, he must have suffered many injustices.

Ellis continued speaking, feeling sorry for Nam Da-eun.

“Iris Guild, do you still want to come? I’ll treat you with the best treatment. No matter where you go, you won’t get better conditions than here.”

The Intelligence Guild’s strength is not only stealth.

That’s enormous financial power.

Ellis was confident.

If you start competing with other guilds for recruitment, you will never fall behind in terms of conditions.

But there was one thing I didn’t know: Nam Da-eun didn’t care about conditions.

“I’m sorry. I don’t think that will work.”

Nam Da-eun was feeling grateful to Ellis for talking to her.

But that doesn’t mean I can give a positive answer to that question.

Because your affiliation is no longer up to you to decide.

It was a matter for Lee Ho-yeon to decide.

“…Uh, yes. Okay.”

‘What’s so problematic that you answer like that?’

Ellis, unaware of the circumstances, returned to her seat feeling embarrassed.

The business smile was still on his face.

thursday. Sanghyeol Hospital Special Room.

I had a conversation with the doctor in charge in the hospital room where I was hospitalized.

“You can discharge the hospital when it is convenient for you. I postponed it for a while because of the Hoenn cadet request, but my body was normal from the beginning.”

“Ahaha… thank you.”

“No. Celebrities often ask for it. The public’s perspective is tiring.”

I delayed discharge from the hospital because I had to take care of Nam Da-eun’s business, but the doctor had a good side of me, so I wasn’t suspected.

“Well, Baek Ayoung, what are you doing?”

It’s almost time to come, but I can’t see it.

“There were a lot of emergency patients yesterday, so he is probably resting now.”

“aha….”

Anyway, I heard you work really hard.

If you came to nurse me, you should only nurse me.

The professional spirit is so clear.

The doctor in charge went out after some formal conversation.

“Discharge from the hospital… I have to do it.”

Actually, it’s a hassle to go out.

If I stay here, I can lie down and play with Baek Ayoung every day.

Of course it can’t be done.

There are still a lot of heroines left that I haven’t been able to capture.

‘I’m lazy today, so I can go to the academy tomorrow.’

smart.

“Yes. Please come in.”

The one who quietly opened the door and came in was Baek A-young.

“Mr. Ayoung?”

“Ha… honey… I came because they said I’m going to be discharged from the hospital.”

Baek Ah-young had deep dark circles under her eyes, and she came towards me yawning as if she were tired.

“I heard you stayed up all night yesterday because of an emergency patient. Why did you come?”

“To help you get discharged from the hospital… whew.”

“Thank you, but… no, thank you.”

It’s not polite to refuse something like that.

I prepared to be discharged from the hospital with Baek A-young’s favor.

Actually, there is nothing to prepare, but they say they will help.

“Are you going back to the academy now?”

“That’s right. Isn’t Ayoung coming back to the academy too?”

“I think I should stay here until the end of the week.”

“Hmm. I see.”

I chatted with Baek Ah-young and went through the discharge process.

As I was leaving the hospital room where I had been staying for over a week, I felt something strange.

“I’ll wait for you at the academy, honey.”

“Yes… honey. I’ll be there soon.”

Pat pat-

I patted Baek Ah-young’s back and left Sanghyeol Hospital.

‘… Let’s go to the dormitory first.’

If I want to go to the academy starting tomorrow, I have to prepare myself.

I passed the main road and headed to the academy dormitory.

Hum-

‘The mana circuit has definitely gotten better.’

A strong perception-blocking barrier was placed around me.

There was also an article on the Internet saying that I was being discharged, and reporters were camped out in front of the hospital.

Anyway, I definitely felt it after hitting a strong barrier.

The efficiency of the mana circuit has increased compared to before the injury.

‘Good, good.’

Becoming stronger is always welcome.

As I slowly walked around and looked around, I arrived at the dormitory.

Tiring-

I entered the dormitory hearing the familiar sound of the door opening.

“Are you here?”

“I’m surprised.”

Right in front of the front door, Scarlett was greeting me with a humble attitude.

Why is he like this all of a sudden?

“Scarlett. Why are you doing this?”

“Hoyeon. I think I need to focus on my work for a while.”

“Day?”

“Yes. I think the Korean branch manager of the Iris Guild, whom I met when dealing with Park Min-gyu, noticed my deviation.”

“You mean hanging out and eating in my dorm?”

“that’s right.”

You don’t deny playing and eating.

I’m grateful, but from Iris Guild’s perspective, it’s all about playing and eating.

“The head of the Korean branch… You mean Kang Hyo-rin? That person deserves it. She definitely has the ability.”

“I’m not the type of person to go out and spread rumors, so I don’t have to worry, but you never know.”

“Um… okay. Well, I don’t have any work to do for a while.”

Scarlett is tied to me by an unfair contract… I’ve already helped you enough.

Anyway, if you attack Ellis, you will naturally encounter it again.

“thank you.”

“Did you talk to Liliana and the others?”

I don’t know about Nam Da-eun, but Nam Da-hee and Liliana must have been very attached to Scarlett.

“I’ve already finished saying goodbye.”

“As expected, I’m thorough. Okay. See you later.”

“It won’t take that long.”

Sasasak-

Scarlett disappeared along the ceiling like a spider.

“…I feel something strange.”

Actually, it was strange seeing it every day until now. It’s right to see them occasionally like before.

Nam Da-eun was sitting blankly in the living room where Scarlett disappeared.

I went into the living room and spoke to Nam Da-eun.

“What about Dahee?”

“I’m at school. I looked into the affiliated schools supported by the academy.”

“ah….”

Well, it’s okay to go to school now. Because the Buyers Guild is ruined.

“Are you going to the academy now too?”

“Yes. I went today too.”

Finally, everything is back to normal.

My head hurts thinking about going tomorrow, but I can’t help it.

“thank you.”

“huh?”

Nam Da-eun, who was staring blankly at the sky, opened her mouth.

“It’s thanks to you. Dahee and I….”

“What did I do? It’s thanks to you guys and the people around me.”

Among them, Scarlett’s virtue is great.

It would have been incredibly annoying without Scarlett.

“Yes. I thanked the others too. Scarlett, Liliana, and Ellis.”

“Good job… Wait a minute, Ellis?”

“Nothing.”

“…?”

Why does Ellis’ name come out of Nam Da-eun’s mouth?

Nam Da-eun turned her gaze away from my face and looked into the distance.

“….”

If you don’t want to talk, you shouldn’t ask.

Because I’m a sweet guy.

“… let’s do it.”

Nam Da-eun said something out of context.

“uh?”

“What we couldn’t do yesterday. Let’s do it now.”

“ah….”

Actually, yesterday, in a good mood, I tried to sneak out with Nam Da-eun… It failed because Nam Da-hee didn’t want to fall for Nam Da-eun.

If I had known that would happen, I shouldn’t have brought her.

– Hey, you bastards! Kill them all! Argh!

Liliana’s broadcast could be heard in the room, and Nam Da-hee was going out.

“…It’s just right.”

“huh.”

★Heroine status window

[Nam Da-eun]

-[Likeability: 99](+0.1)

-[Liberty: 91]

-[Appetite: 55]

-[Fatigue: 40]

Current status: I want to do it right today.

‘I wonder if I can get 100 favorability this time.’

Even though Nam Da-eun’s likeability rating was 99, we still had similar personalities.

Today I want to break that personality a little.

Thinking like a sweet man, I slowly raised my hand to Nam Da-eun’s face.
